Default My bike way back when...

Before the SoCal style was quite so popular around here. Some days I miss it like that.

TD's are the best looking pipes imo. I can understand what you mean.

I understand what you mean. Everyone seems to be into the "blacked out" look now but I blacked out all the chrome on my truck nearly 20 years ago. Got a lot of comments back then about how cool it looked. I'm sure black and the So Cal look will be out of style soon enough and we'll be holdovers with "retro" bikes.

It will never be out of style in SoCal. Besdies i could care less what is in style. It needs to look how I want it to look. Period.
